About this work

You're looking at a landscape painting. There's a river in the middle, with trees and bushes on both sides. The sky above is light, and the water reflects the trees. The trees are tall and slender, with leaves that are light green. The bushes are shorter and have darker leaves. The river is calm, with no waves or ripples. The sky is light gray, with no clouds. This painting is by Alphonse Legros, a French artist who was part of the Romantic movement. You can learn more about Romanticism and its artists.
